Tutorial steps for creating a Linux VM with Azure CLI 2.0 result in an error

[tleonhardt]

I ran the command-line as instructed above to create a UbuntuLTS VM in westus2 and got an error message similar to the following:

"error": {
"code": "SkuNotAvailable",
"message": "The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/<big_hex_num>/resourceGroups/MyWestus2ResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/MyLinuxVM' is currently not available in location 'westus2' zones '' for subscription '< big_hex_num>'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones

It would be really nice if the instructions in this "hello world" tutorial worked seamlessly.

Thanks for the feedback. The issue you are running into is due to your subscription not being enabled to deploy that Sku/ Size in that location. You should be able to simply modify the commands to deploy to another region that your subscription is enabled for. Else, you can always open a ticket to Subscription & Billing and request they unlock that Sku/ Size in that Region for you.
